Nas - Nas


My most anticipated Rap/Hip-Hop release has come upon us! And it does not disappoint. It's the closest he has come to the masterpiece of his first album 'Illmatic'. The album is stuffed with political commentary and heavy beats. One of the most simple yet best tracks is 'Queens Get the Money'. It has a simple piano background and great lyrics. Another high light is Hero featuring Keri Hilson. It defiantly has one of the hottest beats on the album and some great lyrics. Nas has just stepped it up big time.

Rating: Lyrics: 37/40 (Best since 'Illmatic')

Tunefulness: 43/50 (Great production and guests)

Originality: 7/10 (How could you not give a high mark on an album that was originality titled 'N***er'

Overall: 87/100 (Great in every way)

(Album Of The Week)
